Playing catch-up

Craig set up our new tent

Last week, we decided to take a little break and get "out of town." We sort of left town. Craig came home from work, we prepped our camp fire dinners and then the Relief Society Presidency came over for a visit (can we say amazing networking visit? One of the counselors is a dental assistant. Yes- I'm still looking for an office to work at. Let me know if you know of anyone hiring!) After they took off, we headed up Mapleton Canyon.

Dinner on the fire

Sophie fell asleep in the car on the long drive (7 miles from our house...) to the campsite. When we got there we picked our spot and got our fun evening going. I built the fire and started cooking dinner while Craig set up the tent. He may have put the top cover on backwards but whatever. We could see the tree tops, moon & stars while inside.

The obligatory marshmallow roasting

For dinner we had roasted potatoes, zucchini, crookneck squash, onions and roasted marshmallows. Neither one of us really like s'mores or marshmallows but it seemed like a necessity while camping. And I hear they pretty much last forever so whatever.

The pretty river that had flooded
 two land bridges

We had a nice evening getting away just enough. Craig might have been cold, the one person sleeping pad might have been just a touch too small but at least we got to have some fun, go to bed early and fall asleep listening to the (flooded) river running near our site. I love camping and hope we can get back soon!
